From The Sidelines
 "This was a hard match for us today, I thought we left a couple points on the courts, and would possibly see a different outcome if we played the match again. I give Akron a lot of credit for coming out strong during doubles, and although we fought hard in singles, we came up short today. Now we need to use this match and continue our preparations as we move forward to our annual Spring Break Trip to Mercer and Kennesaw State next week." – head coach Frank Polito

Up Next
· The Vikings will continue their current six-match roadswing at Mercer (Sunday, March 10) and Kennesaw State (Wednesday, March 13) during their annual Spring Break Trip next week.
